"If all women IipiI as much common sense as the had," said Policeman Hazel ton of the West J Blxty-eliihlh street station, yesterday, refer ! rlriB to Mrs. John F. Zebley, on whose com ' pUlut he arrested on Thursday Michael Skelly i tor cruelty to horse, "the policeman's lot would he happier than It Is." Mrs. Zebley Is the wife of a broker who has an I office at ao Uroad street. They lire at 00 West Seventy-fifth street. Mrs. Zebley Is a merabor ottheboctety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and has been for many years an active supporter of Its principles. Whllo she was coming down the stairs of the Bevonty-t eoond street elevated railroad station on Thursday afternoon Mrs. Zebley heard a woman bcsldo her cry out: "Ohl Why don't somo one males those men top klcklne that horso; they ought to be ar " What men 7 " asked Mrs. Zebley. f The woman pointed to the opposlta corner, whero two men, one on each side of a horse at tached to a New York and Lone Ilranch Trans fer Company's wagon, wore klcklne the animal In the stomach. The strsst was torn op, and though the horso leaped forward each tlmo the men kicked It, the waeon, which was piled high ' with trnnks, did not stir out of tho rut In which It was caueht. Apparently Mrs. Zebley did not I think It quite dignified toco climbing aver a lot of piled granite blocks to argue with two ex pressmen, so she did the next best thing. She went up to the nicest looking young man she oaw near her, and asked htm to cross over and peak to tho men. Tho young man did the only thing a nice young man cpuld do when i a well-dressed, pleasant faced woman made I such a sensible request. lie went over nnd re I tnonstrated. Tho wagon was pried out of the rut and the horso started along Columbus avenue with the men and n boy In livery on tho sat, Mrs. Zebley followed them toward Suvon-ty-tblrd street- Halt way up the blocK tbe horse stopped. Tim men got down and kicked it, and beat it with the whip, and climbed In again as the puor beast staggered on. This routine was repeated ten or twelve times be tween Seventy-second ond Seventy-ninth streets. Mm. Zebley followed along the side walk, hoping to meet a policeman. Hbedrnpped I Into a stole het and there, so that the express I men would not eusptct her of following them. I Bhoinwsevrralnienstepout tothecurbacd aik I the expressmen to liave mercy on the dorse, but I without effect. Whon she reached Suvonty I ninth street Policeman Ha:leton came alonp. ( As sho hurried forward to mret blmeheanw I the two men whom she had been following 1 Jump down from the wagon and start across -J- the street toward her. They passed her and r went Into tho barroom of the Park View Hotel. L As they passed her sbe heard onu of them bay, with an oath. tbut they would make the liurso go If they killed It, in the barroom, it was after ward learned, they wero hilarious over tbe "fast time the old skate had made" between 1 Forty-second trtet and Seventy-second ftreot. Meanwhile Mrs. Zebley talked with Policeman Ua7eltn. She tout him what had happened; that sbe wan a member of tbo S. P. C. A., and f who sbe was. 17 I "I know," said the policeman, with a pleased i grin. '" you are the hevrnty-flf th street lady. All ) right. Shall I arrest them i" "No," said Mrs. Zebley, " I want to talk to them. II may be that they are not regu r larly brutal, but only drunk. Perhaps a little talking to will persuade them to stop beating tbo horse and to take off half that big load. Vmi stay hi. re, please, and If 1 need you I will beckon." Mic crossed over to the wngon. The horse was Mainline with its feet far apart and its head down, altogether exhausted. Mrs. Zebley spoke jo the llver.ed boy on the seat. " Hav o i ou an thine to ao with this team i" "'fcposo I have. Wliat then?" said the youth " Vhjr do you allow this horse to be treated so "Now. you 'tend to your business," said tbe lad, "and I will keep right on 'tending to mine." lie added otner disrespectful remarks. When the men came back frouitheir beer, the boy called to them, "bay," he eald. " tradje think? Thtswoman BBjgfays OI can't coon with this load 'til you take 5 Tho larger of tho two cama forward, rolling his shoutslers and doubling ud his fists, iio 3 Ired to appear as tough as possible. Mrs. U .Sibley told the policeman afterward that If sho f nad not knotvn new cowardly be was sbe would have been frighlencr. Uut sbe wasn't. i She told him how unreasonable his treatment I of the horse had beeu, and asked nlm not in beat I or kick It any more, and to lighten tbe load. " I w 111 kick that horse and beat that horse as I much as I damn pleate." said the man, whose name Is Michael fekelly, "nnd I won't takn off a damn trunk. Who are youse. anyway? I'm r driving this team, not you. Attend to your own business." "That is Just what I am doing." said Mrs. Zebley calml. "You really most do as I say." Ueorge Willis, the other expressman, and the . 1 boy encouraged Skelly to eontinue bis Insults. 1 "Get away from tbe front of that horse or I'll drive over jouse. lieta move on," he said. Mrs. Zebley beckoned. Policeman Hazelton ' started to cross the street and the boy leaped from the seat and dashed away Into tbe gather ing darkness, bkelly'a tone altercuery much as the policeman approached him. ' .t., "All right, lady." be said In a loud tone, "hoff SBE many trnnks shall I take oft" LBbtI'bIk The pollcemnn looked at Mrs. Zebley Inqutr- BBaftiTWaV tngly. bhe nodded.

POLITICS SOT VSDIUl TADOO IS TIIEATJtES Tit 18 TIME. Aetnra HlaK and, Toka for Uold Aanloat Nllver to srat Applanao and Hardly Any lllslna--Tb Trick That Mr. I.oder l'layn-A Berne la "My OfBelnl Wife." In The Sen's revlow of " Evangeline," as re vived at tho Garden Theatre, It tras told that Charles Illgolow, nn aUor in the burlesque, anng n McKlnle y ballad, and wns npplaudod for It, with no hissing. It was a ronaing campaign song, robustly sung, nnd it wns ao unequivocal In Its sentlmonts, as to advlso every man to rote for Mclvlnley In tbo Interest of sound money nnd protct tlon. This Is tho first Presidential cam paign within memory In which malingers dared permit their actors to espouse ono candidate against tho other before a mixed audlenco. Hut this time tho public sentiment tn New York Is so preponderating for McKlnlcy that the right ttdo Is the safe sldo to take even ln our theatrical entertainments. This unusual condition confronts tho follower of the variety shows Just now, ln that bo hears many a song and joke hinged upon the political campaign. Ho he a MaKlnleylte. he'll rejoice at tbo fact; but If his Wayward steps lead toward Ilryan nnd cheap money ho w 111 be comfortless. T his Is be cause the specialists who touch upon politics do so with frank support of McKlnlcy and Hobart. A few weeks ago Fred Halton put Into his spe cialty n song that was open In Its praise of Mc lvlnley and tho gold bails, and not a lino In any of Its stunas gnvv the other fellow a opportunity tn approve., John W. Knnsoine. made up ns Mark Hanna, fills ten minutes with Mclvlnley songs and Jokes. Ho Is applauded very much nnd hlsicd very little. J. Hryan, beginning with a plea that ho shall not bs mlataksn for a reln tivoof tbo silver candidate, sings n song thnt mentions both Hryan and Sewall, but that brings ln Mclvlnley and Hobart at the points of climax, nnd that unreservedly pokes fun at their opponents. A dozen comedians are pro pounding the conundrum that makes thn dis tinguishing point belwten Hryan and William Cody, the fact that Cody "has a show." Ex perienced managers shako their heads In are prcsilve negative at the suggestion of hitting off Follttcs ln a specialty, but the mentioned per ormers are only a few of those who are doing It with pronounced partisanship. Hereabouts their excuse Is plain enough, for tho silver sui timent ln audlonio' Is so slight that it acts only as 11 ruiuer of opposition aud It brings on many very noisy minutes, ln Charles A. I.oder's sketch nttho Standard an old trick Is worked ln a new way tnat thoroughly deceive n considerable portion of his audience. After a budgot of songs. Joke, and dances, tho entertainer starts to retire, as specialists do between times ln their "turns." but, with the words "I daren't risk It," bo turns about to tho centre of the stage. He then says ho will try a song written by a young woman who, a few hours before, offered him 310 to sing It, nnd who, he adds, is in tbe au dience. Ho apologizes In advance for blunders and starts In. His mistakes in words and musloare quick In coming, nnd, once started, are thick and fast. Finally, he gets through with one stanza, and demands his fee from tbo piano player, who seems about to baud a green back over tn tho actor. A woman starts down thn middle aisle toward the stage. Sbo shouts noisily, commanding that tbe money be not paid, asserting that her song has been so danutgtd by tbe rendering that she can't sell It for a dollar and calls tho singer several hard names. An usher follows tier, remonstrates with her. nnd takes her by the arm, but nhu throws him uff anil finally leaves tho theatre In atlrsl-rate Imitation of feminine tantrums, ln her appearance thero Is no suggestion uf an as sistant lo the performer. Her dres does not look as If prepared for rhow, her closely veiled face reveals nn make-up, and she ignores tbo U&hcr'k authority with the freedom of an angry and injured woman. As long as the is in sight the singer eta) n ou the stage, throwing kisses at her. and It is through blm that tbe deceit is re vealed; but at least hnlf of the women In the audience champion the suppoted authoress by turning to watch liar, their faces turned again toward the stage with looks of resentment. The first act of "My Official Wife" In Its German form at the Irving Placo Theatre represents tho waiting room of a railroad sta tion on the Huslan frontier. On one side of the stage arrive tho travellers from Germany, nnd this section of tbe scene Is separated by a wire fence through tbo gate of which the arrivals pass after their credentials hav 0 been eiainlned. The scene was full of life and atmoipherr. 1 he dingy building with Its glass roof, the view nf tbe Interior of tbu station In tho back ground with Its tracks nnd rlgnals, the Russian signs pn the walls and tho ItuMlan eagles scattered about the plaue were the material aids tn tbe success of the scene. Outside were to bo heard from tlmo to time the signals of departing and arriving trains, the ringing of blls, whistles, and the discharge of fteam. The Incidents were moderately and Artisti cally displaced and they were n"ier for their own sake obtruded T he arrival nf a train sent into the building a great itrlng of iis'rngers, whose passports were carefully examined by the Humii in otllcers. and wlioo baggage, with, great venilmllftude, nn lerwent the orilcisl In spection There was bu-ile and activity In the scene. KveryoiiKnf the iipernumrrailei. aud there must have been half a hundred, con trlbuted to tb'signilltanceof thescene. Walt ers from t lie retaurant at ono side nf the stage hurried to rrrve hungry arrival". Port-rs rii'hed to nnd fro with luggage, nutslde the nnl-e nf the tritns was heard, and an official railed out the depsrture nf tho trains The unlfnrms of tl.o Ho'slnns ndded 'lent even to the neutral tone or the scene The people on the stage -sore hesv fur coats and an attempt hid been made to have the cne gcnulncl) characteristic of the place nnd the people. When the act came to its clne nnd tbo adventurous Nlhlliit bal entrapped the Amer ican voyager Into taking her along as bis wife to thn Huislan capital, the curtain foil on a ponderous euglno nf tho continental pattern, pulling rent steam, and starling to drag the train out of the station. The scene of the ball at which tho grand duke escapes deuth was as ambitions, but lrs effective. T he characters entered down a stair case reaching from a platform nt the buck of thetage. and the dome of tho room was sup ported by six heavy pillars. A curious expari ment was tried 111 the arrangement of thn scenery. The semicircle uf pillars was placed not at the back of the stngo, but within three feet nf the footlights, and tbe si enos of tho net, which Is very brief, were pin) id in this narrow spice, Hlillo tho action nf the guest and the subordinate characters went on In the centre of tbe stage. The device was a good one. ns the probability of the cceno Is heightened by the effect of separation which this ar rangement accomplishes. The entrance of the grand duke with the soldiers who precede blm accompanied by tbe pla Ing of the lltmlati national bvmn mndo an effectlvn situation. Thn quadrille thnt followed Immediately wns n good contrast, although tho outburst ofmnsio from "The Mikado" sent a titter through tbo nudlente, following, as It dld.Yfia Ilusslan an them. Something not so well known could much belter bo introduced. Throughout tho play, from tbe lint scone tn tbo last, them was the constant attempt to give tho scenes a local atmosphere, and tho audience 1 njoyed the nuc esful fulfilment nf this elfnrt. Kvery actross In tbo cast wore fur on her dresses, and the hotel waiters and the pollen olllcers were all mado tn contribute their share Inward centring the effect as a whole.

Lnto hours brought 111 luck to Jacob David son Thursday night. It was half past 1 ln Uio morning when ho sleepily act about clos ing up his dallcatessen stoio at 103 Hester street. As ho put his head out of tho door for that ltidoflnlto final survey without which no shop keeper over closes for the night, sounds of combat from up tho street fell apon his car. There wero shouts and curses, tho stamping of foot, nnd then tho patter of fcit approach ing hastily. "Something's gblng on up thcro," was tho conclusion which Davidson expressed to him self. Very shortly nftcr tho something arrived upon tho Immediate scene. It wns a pursuit, with four men doing tho pursuing nnd two furnishing tho motive. Ono of tho two gnl lopod directly by Davidson's store. The other pullod up panting. Fvldoiitly thero wis very little breath loft ln him. Part of that littlo ho oinplojed. ln an appeal. "Lemma In." he gasped. "Thoj'll kill me." "No," snld Davidson briefly. It wns no part nf his business, ho thought, to Bhcltcr unpopulnr night wnndercra who might apply for ntlmlttntico with tho fenr of deuth for a p.iscport. Hvcn ns ho was thus re flecting the man nindu a sudden dive, crawled betweon his legs, and scrambling along tbo floor t'row himself behind n counter. "Como out," irlctl Davidson iti distress. "You got no right here. Como out. This Is my store I'm truing to closo up." No nnsnor other thiiu the labored breathing of tho fugitive tamo from behind tbo counter. Sjmpntby began to stir in tho soul of.Dav Id son. As lone ns thu mnn lmd claimed his pro tection and hospltnllty, oven though tho claim was made ln so forceful nnd unusual a manner, ho decide, 1 to tin w lint ho could. Accordingly ho f-clcd thu Iron bar to the door and b;gan to closo It. All this had taken but n vory few seconds, but In those seconds the pursu ing party had arrived, llcfore tho door was fully closed a foot Intercepted tho operation. Then tbe weight ot a body forced tbo door back. "What jou want?" nsked Davidson. Got out," "Wis fnw blm como In here." cried tho owner of tho foci. "Wheio did he'gor" "Ho didn't Loino In hero." replied Davidson. "It'rtmj store, any way. if 1 want him he's got a right here. I don't wmt J ou. You got uo right boro. Get nwny." "Lome on, fcllow-K." said tho mnn outsldo to his cnmninlons. "He's hero." Against their combined weight tho store keeper couldn't do much. He made, however, a touscleiitluus endeavor to bar out tho men. There tiro various methods of barrllu out tin Intruder with an Iron bar. Ono way is In bat tlit unwelcome guest ncross tho countenance with It. Tills was tho foimof prociduro adopted by Davidson. Tho barred ones didn't take kindly tn It. They smote Dav Idsnn force fully upon tbo nose, mid he la down upon tho lloor, casliiu the bar behind him. Tho four thereupon trod a measuro upon his protrato form, foigettlug tll.it ho was not tho original object ot thu bunt. SM-eing a golden opportu nity here, tho original object modestly gilded out nf the door and dl-uppeared; at least it Is toujictured thnt this Is what became of lilm, ns hu wasn't lu tbe place after thu light was over, und ihcro wns no other will nf c-ciuo open to lilm. Menitlino Davidson lay uikiii the floor and gave Information In loud tunes to whomscever It might i oncern that ho was j being murdered-which wasn't to far fioui the truth as It n Ight bavo been.

Flctltlnna lllddrra, Imntctnnry Itcserva X'rlcee, Bllareprenentntlnu nr tSnndp, nnd Hiibatltiittim or Inferior Article tor Thoao Aetunlly Hold Specined. Along with Indictments ngninst n number of auctioneers llvu, It Is said tbo (icnural Ses sions Grand Jury for the September term bunded Inyestrrdti) a presentment utaln-itnucllon room swindle. They say: " Evidence that the liw regulating auction salos of personal property Is systematically and - grossly violated has been laid beforo the Grand ' Jury, and In several loMiuices this evident o has been sufficient ln tbe judgment of tho (rand Jury to warrant Indictments against the nCVnd tng parties, and such indictments have been found. Tho testimony presented tothel.rund Jury snowed that frauds of the grossest charac ter ato systematically praitlsed at to-called auctions In this city. "Among tbo various fraudulent devices prac tised by thoso auctioneers who offend against the laws may bo montloncd: "The practlco of procuring fnhe. flctltlou. and fraudulent bids from 'puffer-.' or ' b -bidders' who regularly attend these nuctlons in tbo In- , v lerest and in tho pay of tho nuctloneer. for tbo purpose of making fraudulent and llctltloua b'ds against bona-fldo bidders ln order to ad- "', vance tho price of tbo article offered at tbo auction. "A similar practlco. resulting In the snmnef- fc feet, obtains at these auctions bv which the auc- j tloneer. while pretending to sell his goods to the highest bidder without reserve, really maiutalns what may be called a reserve price, d arbitrarily fixed by himself, below which ho ' will not sell goods to bidders. Unless this prlco is reached by bidders tho auctioneer himself announces a fictitious bid and knocks down tho goods to a fictitious bu,cr, while actually re taining tho goods himself. "Where this practlco prevails the genuine and bona-flde bidders lose tbo benefit of their lav. ful rights to the article offered to tbo high est bona-ilde bidder, and the so-called auction tenses to be an auction ln lealltl. "In addition to this practice, evidence hn also been adduced before the tirand Jury show ing that In at least ono Instance it was the cus tom nf a public auctioneer In keep in stock an arliclM of high grade and quality which he pro-tciidt-il to put up for sale from day to day. while furulshli g to those persons making tbo highest , bids a similar article nf inferior Quality. Jr - "It appears also that the grossest mlsrepre- ' sentntlons as to tho quality and value of an ar- J tide put up at these so-called auctions are con- J stnntlr made by tho auctioneers with a view to 6 deceiving nud defrauding tho bidders at tho S sale, nnd that, too. In tin) face of the express L prov Isions uf the law making such misrepresen tations a crime. " From these corrupt and fraudulent practices on the part uf public auctioneers, it follows thai thn Diibllc Is deceived, and tbe laws upon our Miitutn hooks regulating tbo conduct of theso . auctions are habitually disregarded and detled. Public auctions of goods have always beeu re garded as nt subjects for tho most rigid legls- I lativ e regulations and executive supervision for 4 the protection of the public, and It is on account ! of this fact that tbo Grand Jury has deemed it ij to be its duty to call tho attention of the court to these abuses now prevailing ln this oity. fj "In the opinion of tbo Urand Jury tho publlo kc Interests require that the authorities who have charge of tho granting nnd renewal of auc- f tioneers' licensees should exercise their tunc- ife tlonswlth the utmo-t care and with ft most . ?3 rigid supervision of tlio methods followed by -SBCi the licenses. In addition to this remedy It Is .s-Tti?? also respectfully suggested that tbo police an thorities should,give especial attention to these am lions w lib a view o a strict enforcement of ( the tenat laws providing for the punishment ot . " persons offending against the statutes by which public auctions of goods aru regulated." No arrests. It ia said, will bo made until Monday, Thirty Women la tVraleyna'a New Fresh man Class.
